Today’s forecast: Spring’s coming, but messy weather ahead

Spring officially starts tomorrow. But just when you thought winter might be coming to a merciful close, we’re in for another messy mix. The temperatures aren’t as bitter as they have been for much of this week, but it’s far from balmy. The National Weather Service says highs today will be in the lower 40s. Then we’re looking at a chance of rain and snow this evening, turning to rain overnight with temps in the 30s. Chance of precipitation tonight 90 percent.

Showers likely remain Thursday morning, but once they break we could see more moderate temperatures, with highs in the 50s. Chance of rain 60 percent.
